I am so impressed with this quad! I purchased this during a 3 for $30 sale, thinking I would get one for myself and a few for friends and I'm so glad I did! The quality is really good, especially for the price, and these last really well with a proper primer. I usually have a problem with eyeshadows fading by the end of the day, but not with this. I also find this palette to be very blendable, and while the shades are purple-ly, they aren't too overwhelming or unflattering. I purchased this around the same time I purchased the Laura Mercier Artists's Palette for Eyes, which has similar shades, and I have to say I like using this so much better! I highly recommend for an easy day to nightime look, and as a good gift for friends.
